Suzuki has revealed the 2021 GSX-R1000R in
Japan. The updated motorcycle gets new colour options. Apart from that, no
mechanical changes have been implemented. Suzuki has also not altered the price
of the new model. The 2021 Suzuki GSX-R1000R will be launched in its home
country on 30 July.
The 2021 Suzuki GSX-R1000R will be
available in 3 colour choices. There will be a 100th-anniversary colour option
that was introduced earlier this year. It will be carried forward as it is. The
second one will be the Triton Blue Metallic with ‘Suzuki Ecstar’ decals on the
front fairing accompanied by fluorescent yellow graphics. Similar shade
pinstripes have been used on the black alloy wheels.
The final colour option of the 2021 Suzuki
GSX-R1000R will be the Matte Black Metallic. It imparts a very bold look to the
litre-class sportbike. It has the ‘Suzuki’ decals on the front fairing,
however, no ‘Ecstar’ logo has been used. The red graphics look very subtle and
bring a contrast to the overall visual appeal. Suzuki has also added red
pinstripes on the alloy wheels. The Glass Sparkle Black/Pearl Mirrored and
Pearl Glacier White colour options that were available with the previous model
have been discontinued.
In terms of specifications, the 2021
Suzuki GSX-R1000R continues to draw power from a 999cc inline 4-cylinder
liquid-cooled engine. It comes with a DOHC setup and has been tuned to churn
out a maximum power of 197 PS at 13,200 rpm. The peak torque of 117 Nm is
generated at 10,800 rpm. The transmission here is a 6-speed unit.
MotoGP-inspired technologies such as Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing
(SR-VVT), Suzuki Exhaust Tuning Alpha (SET-A), and Suzuki Top Feed Injector
(S-TFI) helps the motorcycle to perform brilliantly.
Suzuki has used high-end equipment in the
2021 GSX-R1000R. For example, the motorcycle’s suspension setup includes Showa
BFF (Balance Free Front-Fork) and Showa BFRC (Balance Free Rear Cushion). The
braking comes from Brembo brakes - 320mm twin front discs with a 4-piston
radial calliper and 220mm rear disc with single-piston calliper.
The 2021 Suzuki GSX-R1000R will cost JPY
2,156,000 in Japan
